I see a lot of criticism of the Redskins for sending RG3 out to play in the playoffs yesterday after reinjuring his knee. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback, but Mike Shanahan deserves a break from the hammering he's taking over this. I mean it's not like he send a blind guy out on the football field where he'd be unable to defend himself. You save something that drastic for the Super Bowl.

If he had, and the score ended as it did? The screams for Shananhan's head would be even louder. While I agree in hindsight your suggestion is excellent. I think the earliest he could have put him in is the 4th. And even then, he would have been seconded guessed about pulling RG3.
